17/11/21 40 Things Children Can Do That Adults Can't

Hello and welcome to this week's blog post.......

It has been a very strange week and because of that I thought "since that is the way of the week I will do something to help continue the theme!".  

So let us take a look at several things that an adult cannot do (with any degree of success) but a child can

1    Unravel toilet rolls 

2    Ride on a child's trike

3    Throw your food on the floor because you say "I don't like it!"

4    Tell a stranger that they are fat

5    Kick the back of the seat in front of you over and over again

6    Announce an emotion as soon as you feel it

7    Kiss everyone with an open mouth

8    Climb into and out of small spaces

9    Throw Tantrums

10  Be picked up when you are tired of walking

11  Sleep whenever / wherever you want to

12  Take off all your clothes and not be embarrassed

13  Take what you want - when you want to

14  Spit out food that you don't like

15  Question everything (mind you I still do know people like that!)

16  Laugh at bodily noises

17  Wear pyjamas (or nighties) all day

18  Never apologise for anything

19  Sing as loud as you like or however you like

20  Correct everyone - even if you are wrong

21  Ride in, or on, a supermarket trolley

22  Stop dead no matter what you are doing to look at something you have just              seen

23  Ask someone if they will be your friend

24  Get paid for losing your teeth

25  Talk to imaginary friends

26  Scramble round on the floor with toys making animal noises or holding                      conversation with them

27  Start up a roadside business

28  Decide you are fed up with walking and just sit down

29  Pick your nose and eat it (in public)

30  Sing at full volume when they are supposed to be quiet

31  Repeat the same question over and over and over and over

32  Ruin a surprise

33  Fall asleep in school

34  Tell people what they have just heard you say about them

35  Repeatedly kick the back of the seat in front of you because you can

36  Wear costumes in public on any day of the week

37  Build sofa forts

38  Cry when someone else receives a present

39  Need a plaster for an invisible scratch (and get one!)

40  Announce that bowel movement in a loud voice

So there we have it 40 things that we adults cannot do that children can get away almost daily.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post and I will be back again soon

Looking at Exhaustion

                                            Looking 

 At 

 Exhaustion

This week I thought that I would take a look at something that affects all of us at some point of our lives and that is the subject of exhaustion. There are four clear steps that I have highlighted and put everyone of us in danger of burnout.

Step 1 is Worry

Because your active mind life comes with a dark side -You tend to be guilty of overthinking And get yourself into a never ending spiral of worst case/what if scenarios.

You might try to justify this by saying you are prepared but in fact you are on settled by uncertainty and worrying gives you a feeling of control.

Your belief is that if you expect the worst and it does not happen that is a bonus. But, over time this drains your well-being, you feel tired, fed up of being stressed but it is hard for you to change.

Protect yourself by having “worry time” (15 minute window is good)

Surprisingly when you schedule the time to sit down and worry things seem smaller and you have broken the “worry hold” over you.


Step 2 is Emotional Labour

If you become the caring heart of your family and friends you may find that role provides you with a sense of purpose but the truth is it can leave you in a state of exhaustion because you continually give without receiving anything back.

Some friends may become “vampires“ and these people never give anything in return, but because of your nature you will find it hard to say “No”.

You will ultimately find yourself feeling low and believing that you have been used.

To protect yourself from burnout audit your friendships. Score each friend from 1 to 10 based on how much energy you have when you are in their company. One equals flat 10 equals vibrant. When that is done spend most of your time with those people who score 5 and above.

Step 3 is Self Sabotage

Are you burned out? If you are you are probably a person who works and plays hard, you believe that you should just get on with it. This is surely a route into self sabotage.

Sometimes you might have an important meeting scheduled and you are still in the bar drinking during the week small hours.

Why do you expect to get by on four or five hours sleep or accept more work when you are already fully stretched?

You are putting both your mental and physical health at risk. You find you suffer from feeling on fit, poor concentration and low energy but you cannot stop yourself.

Be honest – note your activity on a planner. Take a good look and decide if what you are doing is taking you nearer to or further away from your best life.

Step 4 is Conscientiousness

You are someone who is valued at work and are singled out as the go to person to get stuff done. You thrive on personal growth and reaching for your goals. You set the bar high but what really happens is you spend so much time on the small stuff you have no energy left for the bigger things.

You feel that letting people down is an absolute no! You feel that good enough is alright but is never for you.

To protect yourself from burnout step out of your routine every so often.

Too much routine drains you, start a hobby that is fun to do without focusing on achievements.

And finally

Be brutally honest and look at yourself and your life in great detail. Use a daily activity planner, take a long hard look and see how much of your routine takes you one step closer do your best life, or alternatively, one step further away.

Carry out an audit of your friendships. Score each friend from 1 to 10 (1 = flat, 10 = vibrant) based on how much energy you have when you are in their company.

Once you have done this spend the most time with those who score is over five.
